 A useful definition of war is:"When differences between states reach a point at which both parties resort to force, or one of them does acts of violence, which the other chooses to look on as a breach of the peace, the relation of war is set up, in which the combatants may use regulated violence against each other until one of the two has been brought to accept such terms as his enemy is willing to grant".

stability, and which requires decision and action. Crisis management is the name given to measures to prevent, contain, reduce or resolve a crisis including, if necessary, an orderly transition to war. It is discussed in some detail in Chapter 7.

References to the enemy or the opponent in the remainder of this Chapter should be read in this light.

Following such an attack each member will take such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore

and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area. NATO Handbook Page 235. 

Partnership for Peace helps Partner nations to prepare their forces to operate alongside NATO forces in peace support and

humanitarian operations. It also prepares those states that aspire to membership of NATO, and offers states which may never join the opportunity of a substantial relationship with the Alliance.

Operational Command is the authority to assign missions or tasks to subordinate commanders, to deploy units, to reassign forces

and to retain or delegate operational and/or tactical control as necessary. It does not of itself include responsibility for administration or logistics. 

Operational Control is the authority to direct forces assigned so that the commander may accomplish specific missions or tasks,

which are usually limited by function, time or location, to deploy units concerned, and to retain or assign tactical control of those units. It does not include authority to assign separate employment of the units concerned. Neither does it of itself include administrative or logistic control. 

Command and control of operations in support of the civil power in Northern Ireland is covered in Chapter 6 under Military Aid to

the Civil Power.
